Hot on the heels of his surprise announcement, J. Cole has revealed the tracklisting for his third album 2014 Forest Hills Drive. The follow-up to 2012′s Born Sinner features 13 tracks including “January 28th” (his birthday), “A Tale of 2 Citiez,” and “No Role Modelz.”
The title is the address of the childhood home that he grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He purchased the three-bedroom, two-bath property in June of this year for $121,000.
Cole doesn’t plan on releasing any singles in advance of the December 9 release date. But he surprised one lucky fan by showing up at her house in Dallas earlier this month and playing it for her before the rest of the world. He also plans to host two listening sessions for neighbors this weekend.
2014 Forest Hills Drive, which is now available for pre-order on iTunes, marks a return to his roots. “That’s what buying this house represented for me,” he told Complex. “It was validation, it was vindication for them foreclosing this place [on] my mom, and it was also a symbol for me like I know what’s important. You can’t run from home.”
See the tracklisting below.

In the wake of the protests in Ferguson, B.o.B rises up with his mixtape New Black. On the powerful and provocative eight tracks, the bulk of which he produced himself, the Atlanta rapper tackles politics, race, and religion.
“It’s a new world order that we live in … Lies on the lips of every politician,” he raps on “Missing,” while calling for a boycott on the title track (“Hit ‘em where it hurts—their pockets”).
B.o.B is gearing up to release his fourth album in spring 2015. “This album will be more like The Adventures of Bobby Ray to me,” he told Rap-Up TV of his 2010 debut. “But with an edge that The Adventures of Bobby Ray never had.”

While we wait on a new Frank Ocean album, the Grammy-winning singer quietly released a new song on his Tumblr page in the early hours of Friday morning. On the two-minute track “Memrise,” Ocean strips things all the way down as he sings about a lover.
“I memorized the wayward expressions / Never look down / Never let you see me down / I memorized the way no directions / Can I come over now / I’d like to stay a little while / I memorized your body exposed / I could fuck you all night long / From a memory alone.”
Earlier this year, he fired his management and publicist and hired Three Six Zero, who manages Calvin Harris, Deadmau5, and Kate Nash.
He has reportedly enlisted Hit-Boy and Rodney Jerkins for the follow-up to 2012′s channel ORANGE, along with frequent collaborators Happy Perez, Charlie Gambetta, and Kevin Ristro.
Not much else is known about the album, but director Nabil Elderkin said earlier this year that it “blows the sophomore-album myth out of the water.”
With his seventh album Hood Billionaire in stores, Rick Ross hit the outdoor stage on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on Wednesday.

Fans held up posters with his face on it, while he commanded the stage like a true boss.
His collaborator K. Michelle wasn’t able to join him because she had a show in Minneapolis, but she had to cancel after fainting due to “extreme dehydration.”
Hood Billionaire is expected to move 50-55,000 units in its first week.
Fresh off her performance at Sunday’s AMAs, Iggy Azalea took over “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday night.

Reclassified , which features five new songs and seven from The New Classic, is expected to sell 11-13,000 copies in its first week.
Iggy addressed the backlash from her two AMA wins for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album and Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist. “Not being proactive about anything in your life and then complaining about others who are is funny to me,” she tweeted. “i expected to see lots of it this week, success always seems to bring about a particular brand of nastiness in others and thats sad.”
